About Matthew
Matthew "Matt" Redfearn is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges. He works with people who are struggling with self-esteem, motivation and confidence. Matt aims to make the first steps feel manageable and offers steady support as people try new ways of coping.
He believes each person knows their own story and brings strengths to difficult situations. In sessions he listens closely and helps people use those strengths to make changes that matter. Conversations focus on clear, practical steps rather than labels or jargon.
Matt uses approaches such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to match the needs of each person. CBT helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, while Client-Centred work prioritises the person’s perspective and experience. Solution-Focused work looks at small, achievable goals to build forward momentum.
His background includes three years of professional experience and registration as NCPS, which is listed as his credential. He practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Matt is open to working with international clients and can discuss how best to connect across time zones.
People often reach out about grief, parenting strain, addictive behaviours, trauma and coping after major life changes. He also helps with concerns tied to adoption and foster care, ageing and attachment issues. If you are thinking about starting, he guides you through the first steps and what to expect in early sessions.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on placing the person’s experience at the centre of the work and offering empathic listening to help people make sense of their situation. This approach supports people managing stress, relationship difficulties and low confidence by prioritising what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety or low mood, and then tests small, practical changes. It can be useful for managing worry, low mood and improving day-to-day functioning.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at short-term goals and small steps that produce quick wins. It suits people who want to focus on reachable changes and see measurable progress over a few sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods to try, and adapt them as needs and goals evolve. Early sessions are often about understanding problems and agreeing on simple steps to try next.
